[Intro] F C F C F G G F C F C F G F G [Verse 1]
  F             C
I am no weeping willow

  F             C
I am no fragile flower

      F            C
To be taken by the frost

          G
Or by the lateness of the hour
[Verse 2]
       F               C
I have lived in consternation

       F              C
Of the road ahead for me

      F                  C
And despite that I can't see that far

          G
There are things that I can see
[Chorus]
F                C
You won't dig my grave

F                C
You won't dig my grave

     G                      C
I've lived among the angels

    G
You never were that brave

You won't dig my grave

F                C
You won't dig my grave

     G
I've been up to the mountain

                      G
There are things that you can't take
[Verse 3]
          F              C
From that morning by the river

      F                  C
Where once I touched her hem

      F               C
To my midnight in the garden

          G
Without a solitary friend
[Verse 4]
    F          C
The rock of my salvation

        F                C
Was the girl who took my hand

       F                    C
You've never been loved the way I have

    G
You wouldn't understand
[Chorus]
F                C

There are things that you can't take

[Verse 5]
     F                 C
I am told there's many mansions

     F             C
I am not afraid to go

        F              C
But the call that I am waiting on

     G
Will not come from below
[Verse 6]
   F                C
My angel suffers no fools

     F               C
I am Hers and she is mine

And woe betide the man who tries

To take me 'fore my time
